    You Are Not Too Far Gone: The Long Road Back from Addiction Guest: Rowan Vale

    What happens when you lose yourself so completely that you no longer recognize the person in the mirror? In this episode of The Wisdom Transfer, Rowan Vale shares the deeply personal story behind his memoir ENOUGH and reflects on addiction, recovery, identity, fatherhood, and the difficult process of rebuilding a life from the ground up.
